I think VLC is a great all-in-one player that has almost everythign built into it. But if you got some time to setup mplayer, its more tweakable IMHO.

yeah, check out the command-line switches for VLC... You can enable the advanced settings/EQ etc from the shortcut so you don't have to turn the fuckers on all the time.

Fixed.

I just starting using VLC as well, and I have nothing but good things to say about. Granted, I've had little trouble with WMC, but VLC definitely is great for playing obscure formats.

sometimes with "imperfect" files VLC will just stop playing the file, only had it happen with mpegs that have some type of defunct audio stream though, so who knows. When played in media player classic it plays a slight "beep" and then continues on its way, really dont really notice it unless you know when to expect it. So, that's what i do, media player class + videolan, both no install necessary, both sexy

i don't watch video's on my computer. even though i have a 19 in. monitor, i use my standalone. i have the hacked version of windows classic so i can watch online news and such no mater if it's quicktime ,realone or wmv files. but i also keep the latest vlc for checking out particaly downloaded files to see if i want them or not. found out here on this forum that i can click on a rar. and vlc will play it.that alone makes it a must have player. think vlc will do the same as WC but it's configured to play multi. streams and if it works why change it?

That's pretty much describes MPlayer. But I've never had MPlayer stutter on Windows or Linux on an release, hence, MPlayer is the sexiest beast.

VLC and mplayer. mplayer is especially sweet for converting movies for iPod Photo.

as much as i like VLC, i found its playback quality with some HDTV .TS files wasn't as good as i was getting with other programs, BUT it is more efficient and its very nice.

Too true, too true.

And VLC all the way for myself and 9 out of 10 computer geeks interviewed on the street.

I also remember it used to crash on a fast user switch. And because it used its own decoders, you couldn't use additional directshow filters like ReClock.

Although that was a while ago, and things may have changed since then.

or double click the picture! fucking simple.

Yup, if you compile from source and want all the fancy-dancy options, you might need to install/upgrade a bunch of other libraries first. However, there's usually a bare minimum install (one audio driver, one video driver, no GUI, just libavcodec, etc.) that your basic Unix distribution should support out-of-the-box.

And then, as you said, you can always get precompiled versions (especially if you're on Windows).
